The Right Reverend [[Archimandrite]] '''Anthony (Woolf)''' was the [[rector ]] of St George Antiochian Orthodox Church Redfern, NSW, from his arrival in Australia from the US on [[April 6|6 April]] 1957 until his repose at Cairo en route to Damascus in April 1961.
Fr Anthony was also [[Patriarch]]al [[Exarch]] to Australia.
He was described as 'very popular with young people because [with him] they understood what was happening. Most of all he would take them out on trips, such as to Luna Park. When he came to visit, [families] felt proud of themselves because he parked his big American car outside. He would sit with all the children in the kitchen.'
Under his guidance the [[Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia, New Zealand, and All Oceania|Antiochian Orthodox Church in Australia]] was active in the Australian Council of Churches.
